What to ask

Four questions to bring to any reservation-platform sales call.

What does a 1,000-cover month actually cost, all-in?
SaaS + per-cover + per-prepayment cut + any add-ons. The headline list price almost never matches the bill.
What percentage of my deposits and tickets do you take?
If the answer is anything other than zero, ask what changes that. Usually only the top tier does.
How do I cancel? Self-serve, or do I call?
If cancellation requires a phone call, ask what the average call length is. The answer will surprise you.
Can I export my guests, with their tags and visit history, the day I leave?
A "yes" with friction is a soft no. A "yes" with a CSV in your hand the same day is a real yes.

Run it in parallel for 21 days.

No card, no contract. Switch when you're ready; or don't, and walk away with your data intact.
